Operating techniques
88 Off-road operation
Off-road operation
Different types of terrain require different operating techniques.
Check the ground conditions before operating, if you are uncertain
and want to avoid getting stuck.
Q Always use the longitudinal differential lock/6-wheel drive in off-
road operation when there is a risk of slipping.
Q If the ground is slippery, use the front axle's transverse
differential lock to improve manoeuvrability.
Q Always engage the transverse differential locks before any
wheel starts to slip.
Q In ground conditions where there is a risk of getting stuck, use
the steering in combination with transverse differential locks to
''renew'' traction and grip with the wheels, so-called DUCK
WALKING.
Q Obtain permission from the management to operate outside the
transporting route.
Q When operating on soft ground and space permits, choose a
new track for each run. In this way you avoid making deep
tracks.
NOTE! Avoid operating across steep slopes and over sharp
stones and tree stumps.
